Linux Mint on VirtualBox has no internet connection
- by Martin
Physical machine: Mac Mini running OSX 10.7.5
Virtual machine: Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon 64-bit
Using VirtualBox.
I am trying to make the linux connect to the internet. For some reason I can access the host computer with 192.168.2.100. Its set up to show me a web-page that says "It works". This I can see from the linux. But I cannot reach anything on the internet. Either FireFox says "Unable to connect" or when I run nslookup google.com I get connection timed out; no servers could be reached.
My setting on VirtualBox under the Network tab are:
Bridge Adapter
vnic0
promiscouos Mode:Allow All`.
If it makes a difference, the host has a WiFi connection to the home router.
What have I missed?
